Rapid Die Face Design in the Corporate PLM Environment

Sheet Metal Forming
Emerging onto the market now is a new generation of rapid die face design software, but now completely integrated in the host PLM/CAD system, inherently overcoming the limitations of managing engineering updates, and avoiding the need to re-work or remodeling, by utilizing the power of associativity within the host PLM environment. Other business benefits include the reduction of impact on the user, as the graphical user interface is familiar, with only the need to learn a few additional functions as opposed to an entirely different program, but more importantly there is no interruption in the data flow, with all die engineering and design iterations being maintained within the PLM, but still delivering fast connection to the simulation world for rapid feasibility assessment.
